What are the responsibilities and job description for the Video Editor position at Forge Relations LLC?
Who is Forge Relations
Forge Relations is a full-service marketing agency built within the firearms, defense, and outdoor industry. We operate as our clients' marketing department, just not in the office next door.
We embed ourselves so deeply into each brand's culture and voice that every video we cut is the brand.
We are a tight team that works hard, moves fast, thrives in controlled chaos, and believes ownership is non-negotiable.
The Job at a Glance
- You take raw footage and turn it into a finished video: cut, color, sound, and motion graphics, start to finish
- You work across Forge's full client roster, from monthly retainer content to major launches
- You use AI tools to work faster and raise the bar on your output, not to cut corners
- You know how content paces and trends on social media, and you cut with that in mind
- You move fast, manage your own time, and aren't afraid to speak up with a better idea
- You report to Forge's production and editing leadership, inside a pipeline that does not wait around
You own the edit, start to finish.
Role Overview
This role owns post-production execution end to end. No handoffs, no waiting on another department to finish what you started.
What You Will Own
- Video assembly on every project you're assigned
- Color grading, sound design, and mixing on your own cuts
- Motion graphics and overlays that meet Forge and client brand standards
- Turnaround on retainer deliverables and launch content
- Your own project organization inside Forge's file and review systems

- Work from Forge's brand standards and creative direction on every project
- Take feedback and turn revisions around fast
